Tarzan and the Ant-Men: A Positronic Book - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American novelist best known for creating some of the most enduring adventure heroes of the twentieth century. He achieved immediate success with Tarzan of the Apes (1912), introducing the jungle-born Tarzan, and soon afterward launched the Barsoom series beginning with A Princess of Mars, establishing a model for planetary romance and interplanetary adventure.Burroughs' fiction is marked by sweeping imagination, exotic settings, and fast-moving narrative momentum. His tales of lost civilizations, distant worlds, and heroic survival captured the spirit of early pulp fiction and helped shape the development of modern adventure and science fiction genres.Over the course of his career, Burroughs wrote dozens of novels across multiple series, many of which were adapted into films, comics, and radio programs. His influence remains visible in popular culture, particularly in adventure fantasy and space opera traditions that continue to draw upon the archetypes he helped define.
